Abstract:
A method of recognizing motion of an object may include periodically obtaining depth data of a first resolution and two-dimensional data of a second resolution with respect to a scene using an image capturing device, wherein the second resolution is higher than the first resolution; determining a motion tracking region by recognizing a target object in the scene based on the depth data, such that the motion tracking region corresponds to a portion of a frame and the portion includes the target object; periodically obtaining tracking region data of the second resolution corresponding to the motion tracking region; and/or analyzing the motion of the target object based on the tracking region data.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for securing wireless communication using an acoustic signal are described. In one method involving a first and second device, the second device generates, when connecting to the first device, connection initiation information including key information for secure communication, converts the connection initiation information to an acoustic signal, and transmits the acoustic signal to the first device through an acoustic communication channel. Then the second device monitors a radio wireless channel, which is secured using the key information for secure communication, to determine whether a valid response is received from the first device and, upon receipt of the valid response, discontinues transmission of the acoustic signal and begins communicating with the first device securely on the radio wireless channel.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for guiding a subject back within the recognizable visual range of a multimedia system are described. According to one of the described methods, when it is determined that the target has left the recognizable range of the multimedia system, sensor information is acquired from a portable electronic device (or controller) the user has been using to control the multimedia system, and the acquired sensor information is used to determine where the user is, relative to the recognizable range. In one example, the user is asked to make a gesture with the portable electronic device, and the sensor information concerning that gesture is used to determine the user's relative location. In another example, the sensor information recorded at the time the user left the recognizable range is used to determine the user's relative location.
Abstract:
Encoding and decoding methods are provided. An information object is encoded according to a preset encoding scheme. A preset set of bits is selected from the encoded information object and the selected set of bits is output as a sample. A control packet including information on a sample number is generated. The sample is assembled with the control packet. The sample is modulated into a sound signal according to a preset scheme. An input sound signal is demodulated according to the preset scheme. Sample bits and control packet bits containing information of the sample are separated from each other in demodulated received bits. Address information corresponding to each bit of the sample is generated according to the control packet. A soft decision of the sample bits is summed for each piece of the generated address information. A sample decoding of the summed soft decision of the sample bits is performed.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for encoding an information object. The method includes storing the information object in a buffer; generating a sampling set including bits selected from the buffer according to a predetermined rule and bits randomly selected from the buffer; generating control channel data including information on the sampling set; and modulating the sampling set and the control channel data.
